"It's very, very frustrating at this point that this has gone on for a week now," he said. "We were told that it's a homicide investigation, but there's not been any arrests made. There's not been anything, and no one will tell us anything."

Skylar's parents — James Foster Jr. and Ashley Pinkston — are no longer together, according to Yocum. He said Skylar had been living with Pinkston and her boyfriend when the incident happened.

Yocum said the two big unanswered questions now are "who and how?" He wants to know what happened to his granddaughter and who's responsible.

Loved ones recited similar sentiments on a Facebook group created in Skylar's memory.

"I hope who ever did this gets what they deserve," wrote former Lafayette resident Monica Kottwitz.

Others expressed sympathy to the family and appreciation for community support.

Those who attended Skylar's funeral included motorcyclists with Bikers Against Child Abuse, an organization that helped to ensure Skylar didn't go quietly, Yocum said.

Hippensteel Funeral Home confirmed the approximate number of stuffed animals donated and said YWCA Greater Lafayette will continue accepting donations.
